Oklahoma City Thunder shooting guard Deandre Liggins was arrested on Saturday on suspicion of domestic abuse with a deadly weapon and domestic assault in the presence of a minor, authorities said. Officers were called out to a home near Northwest 180th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue. Liggins assaulted a woman believed to be his girlfriend, police said.

He was taken to the Oklahoma County jail, where he remains, per a jail official. No bond has been set. He is being held on complaints of domestic assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and domestic abuse in the presence of a minor, a jail official said.

"We are aware of the situation and take this matter seriously," Sam Presti said in an official statement from the team. "We are in the process of gathering more information and have no further comment at this time."

A 2011 second-round pick by the Magic after spending three years at the University of Kentucky, Liggins signed a two-year minimum salary contract with the Thunder in 2012. His 2013-14 salary is not guaranteed. Assuming he makes the Thunder's roster, Liggins would be competing with the likes of Jeremy Lamb, Reggie Jackson and Ryan Gomes, among others, for minutes behind Sefolosha.
